Monoblock Valve (OM-3)

What is a Hydraulic Monoblock Valve?

A hydraulic monoblock valve is a type of directional control valve built in a single block with multiple sections, allowing it to control the start, stop, and direction of fluid flow in a hydraulic system.

Features

1. Compact and rugged design

2. Multiple hydraulic functions in one block

3. Low internal leakage

4. High resistance to pressure

5. Easy installation and maintenance

Functions

Monoblock valves are used to manage the flow and direction of hydraulic fluid within mobile machinery and industrial equipment.

How Does a Monoblock Valve Work?

It directs fluid flow through selectable channels within a single block, operated by levers or electronic actuators.

Why Need Monoblock Valve

These valves are essential for applications requiring a robust solution that can handle multiple functions with minimal leakage and space usage.

How to Choose Suitable Monoblock Valve

Selection depends on factors like maximum pressure, flow rate, number of spools, and type of control required (manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electronic).

Difference Between Monoblock Valve and Sectional Valve

＊Monoblock Valve: Integrates multiple spool functions within a single cast body. This compact design reduces potential leak points and is generally more robust and cost-effective for simpler systems with fewer spools.

＊Sectional Valve: Consists of individual sections bolted together, allowing for customization and expansion. Each section can control separate circuits, making it more versatile for complex hydraulic systems.

How to Choose Between Monoblock and Sectional Valves

＊Application Requirements: Consider the complexity and flexibility required. Monoblock is suitable for simpler, compact systems while sectional valves are better for complex systems requiring flexibility.

＊Flow and Pressure Needs: Monoblock valves typically handle lower flow and pressure compared to sectional valves.

＊Space and Budget Constraints: Monoblock valves are more compact and often less expensive but offer less flexibility compared to sectional valves, which are costlier and larger but offer customizable configurations.
